Lamb prices at factories slip while mart trade appears 'good'
750 cents/kg is being paid for lambs in deals being done with suppliers. File Picture.
The lamb prices at the factories have slipped further this week taking more of the shine off the returns to producers, while there is also the impression at least of some nervousness in the trade creeping into the discussion.
Most of the processors did not quote for lambs this week which has added to the doubt that they are either unsure of the way the trade is going for the week ahead, or alternatively trying to condition suppliers into accepting a weaker return.
